I would like to encourage all of our new members to check out the Summer Extravaganza Contests going on this month and consider entering one or more of them.

Several of these contests do not require a great deal of experience in order to enter and are specifically intended to encourage participation by new turners. In particular, be sure to check out the Pretty Wood Pen Contest, the Ball Point Pen Contest and the Slimline Unlimited Contest. There are also several other fun contests that you might appeal to you, so be sure to check them all out. There is even a Youth Contest if you have a child, grandchild, niece or nephew, or even a neighbor's child who likes to make pens.

The Summer Extravaganza is a fun activity open to all IAP members to give you a chance add a little enjoyment to your summer turning and to show off some of your work and compete for some small prizes. It also serves as a warm-up to help you prepare for a wider range of contests & competitions when our annual Birthday BASH rolls around next February.

Even if you only joined IAP yesterday or today, you are eligible & encouraged to participate in the Summer Extravaganza.
